<My understanding of the Wireless Web Service offered by Sprint PCS is yes, through the Phone.com browser. The Airtouch guy told me their ThinPhone ships with a browser, as they prepare for their 1Q 2000 rollout of wireless web.

My understanding of the Wireless Web Service offered by Sprint PCS is yes, through the Phone.com browser. Yes, and I just checked the Sprint Web Site and they also offer the Internet connection through laptops, etc., like the current Airtouch offering. And according to Diana's recent post, it sounds like Airtouch may be close to using the browser built in to the Thinphone also. The recent MOT release, which I believe has already been posted in full, shows just how fast things are moving. Motorola Inc.'s Network Solutions Sector (NSS) said today its high-speed wireless Internet access for its cdmaOne? networks will be launched commercially for the first time in Japan on Jan. 7, 2000. This capability based on the cdmaOne TIA/EIA-IS-95B standard allows subscribers to access the Internet at speeds up to 64Kbps. I believe the Thinphone is compatible with IS-95B so I wonder if that means it will really do 64Kbps? Where does the extra speed come from? Bux
